HT202157 With Netflix I get a message that content requires HDCP for playback.  What should I do

On Apple TV using Netflix I get a message that content requires HDCP for playback.  What should I do

Are you using an HDMI to HDMI lead or some kind of adapter for HDMI?
Try a different HDMI lead or socket.
Unplug and restart the AppleTV and also power the TV on/off.
HDCP is a digital copy protection system - AppleTV doesn't like some aspect of the connection so is refusing to play - the lead/socket could be dodgy or AppleTV/TV circuitry.

  • When I try to play stuff I get a message saying I require HDCP for playback! what's that?

    So disappointed with Apple TV, just bought it and it won't work, I can use YouTube on the tv, but not from my iPad. 
    I can't play videos from iPad as it keeps telling me that I require a HDCP for play back.  I have a top of the range HDTV set up.
    Also, it only works when my iTunes is on my computer.  I have set it up as by the instructions.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.

    HDCP is a copy protection protocol. Content that contains HDCP protection requires that all devices are HDCP compliant, if your TV isn't compliant or isn't telling the iPad that it is compliant the movie won't play.
    Also, it only works when my iTunes is on my computer.  I have set it up as by the instructions.
    If you mean it will only play content from your library when iTunes is running, then that is quite normal, you wouldn't expect the Apple TV to be able to read a library that isn't turned on would you.

  • I keep getting "This content requires HDCP for playback" with my new Apple TV 3.

    I keep getting "This content requires HDCP for playback" with my new Apple TV 3. I've returned one and got a new one. I've turned everything on and off. I've upgraded my bandwith. I've tried using different HDMI ports. Nothing is working.
    Sometimes a movie will start to play for about 3-5 seconds and then freeze. My music plays fine as well as other videos that are not HD.
    This has been going on for 3 weeks now and Apple Support and Genius Bar couldn't help.
    Would appreciate any other solutions folks came up with.
    Thanks.

    Thanks. I'll try to get a new HDMI cable, but that ****** me off since I bought the one I had from Apple thinking I'd avoid any issues like this.
    I've also never had a movie play and have also tried Reset.
    Since the movie starts to play for a few seconds, I'm assuming it is not my TV.
    Thanks!

    Been watching HD TV shows over home WI-FI from remote desktop using Apple TV for a month with my 1080i TV. Tonight getting error on TV, even on recently watched shows, "This content requires HDCP for playback. Either your HDMI cable isn't properly connected, or your HDMI connection doesn't support HDCP.  Please reconnect the HDMI cable from your Apple TV to your HDTV and try again".

  • When I try to setup the updated Firefox download, I get a message that the file is corrupt. What should I do?

    The download for firefox setup 6.0.2 exe was successful, but when I tried to open it, I received a message that the file is corrupt.

    If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions to update then easiest is to trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • "This content requires HDCP for playback" Message on AppleTV

    I get this message when I turn on AppleTV. How do I resolve this problem?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Does your TV support HDCP ?
    Check the manual, ask the manufacturer or post the model here.

  • After downloading osx 10.9.2 when i open my logic pro 9 and begin to audition loops that came with lp9 i get a message that says "audio device has been removed  and then a second message the " select driver not found(-10202). my interface is a apogee duet

    after downloading osx 10.9.2 when i open my logic pro 9 and begin to audition loops that came with lp9 i get a message that says "audio device has been removed  and then a second message the " select driver not found(-10202). my interface is a apogee duet. Can anyone provide a solution to this problem. Thanks

    YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!
    I got it!!! Yes!!!
    Guys, I've solved my problem about that error -10202 (Selected driver not found).
    I have installed in my Mac Pro (OS X 10.5.8) a document with an extension ".rsrc" to correct the position of the accents in my keyboard, like acute accent, tilde and circumflex.
    That file is called "U.S. - International.rsrc" and it's stored in the following path:
    "Macintosh HD/Library/Keyboard Layouts"
    So, when it's properly installed, I can choose 2 country flags on the right side of the menu bar (U.S. - International and Brazilian).
    That's the clue!
    When I pick up "U.S. - International", my keyboard works fine with the accents, >>>BUT<<< Logic Pro 9 doesn't recognize my audio driver; and when I pick up "Brazilian", my keyboard doesn't work with the accents exactly as it shows me on each key, BUT Logic Pro 9 DOES recognize my audio driver.
    So, when I want to write anything out, I will pick up the "US - International" and when I want to work on the Logic Pro 9, I will pick up "Brazilian".
    I hope I can help all of you.
    Regards,
    Renato Veiga.

  • Cannot install Mavks. Get the message that HD is used for Time Machine B/U. Not true. Also Time Machine is turned off.

    Cannot install Mavks. Get the message that HD is used for Time Machine B/U. Not true. Also Time Machine is turned off. Running OS 10.8.5.

    That message appears when there's a "Backups.backupdb" folder in the root level of the OS X volume. This folder is used by Time Machine to store backups, being this the reason why the OS X Mavericks installer detects the OS X partition as used by Time Machine.
    To delete it, open a Finder window, select the Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type:
    Then, delete "Backups.backupdb" and empty the Trash. Finally, open the OS X Mavericks installer in /Applications and follow the steps. Make sure you have got a backup of your files before upgrading and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

  • I cannot install Flashplayer 10.2.152.32. I get the message that :The Active X for Flashplayer could

    I cannot install Flashplayer 10.2.152.32. I get the message that :The Active X for Flashplayer could not be registered.  The problem started when I "stupidly" accepted the upgrade on Feb 18, 2011.  It has not worked since.  I have tried every suggestion including all the older suggestions on this community forum, without success.  I am using ie8 xp2002 sp3.  I am almost going to give up.  Please help.

    Hi Lee,
    "You’re probably thinking this sounds like an administrator issue. However, I’m the only user and Windows 7 is registered to me – which should make me the only administrator."
    You are correct but to a point.  I thought so too, however, like you, I am "second in command"...under myself. 
    I was in the same situation and tried others' successful workarounds.  Nope.  Actually, an ongoing frustration for a few months to no avail...until I came across this link, http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-windows_programs/ this-installation-package-could-not-be-opened/40c3cf33-b155-4dc7-b21e-ca5acce105 f3.  It shows you how to access the Administrator login, literally.  It worked for me. 
    This is from a Microsoft support page (SJ has probably been alerted, so I don't have much time, LOL).  I did not want to hit that "final" option and reinstall Win 7.  The first time was trying enough and I was about to give in.  
    " I’ve scanned a Microsoft forum for iTunes download/installation problems. Most answers on the forum refer to a system32 error appearing when they attempt to install itunes64bit.exe on Vista or Windows 7."
    I was opposite on this one.  What led me to think it wasn't the above was seeing this user " ` " , also known as Accent grave.  The Users first file is labeled " ` " and has a little gold lock on it.  When I scanned Task Manager, under Processes Tab, the User Name column showed " ` " attached to certain processes.  I knew it was me, but did not realize it was the Alpha me 
    I cannot say if the system automatically did this or I or Alpha (I'm blaming Alpha).  If there is a way to change this I do not know, and if I should.  Either way, I will do some more research and pray another personality isn't isn't lurking about
    Hope this helps you.
